Jenn and I haven’t shared our thrift store finds for quite some time now. Our lives are so crazy busy at the moment, it’s hard to find a spare minute to do the thrift store pilgrimage. Typically we like to make a day out of thrifting – visiting our favorite shops and looking for great deals….
It’s official…Happy Spring! We have been readying our homes over the past couple of weeks. It feels so good to banish the winter blahs in favor of something more light and bright. In the past couple of days Jenn and I have heard from several of you that have been inspired by our seasonal posts. We are so…
Two things I can’t get enough of right now – spring green and white. I’m continuing this color from my spring mantel decor. A big benefit of a neutral color scheme is that I can add almost any color to it. The living room walls are painted in the soothing Benjamin Moore color of Gray…
There is just something about having my home decorated for Christmas that makes me excited to get home from work and spend time relaxing. I think it’s a combination of the twinkling lights, shiny ornaments, and fraser fir fragrance, which is one of my faves. This year I was only going to decorate my living…
It is no big secret that I love Christmas. There are parties to attend, cookies to bake (and eat), family and friends to spend time with and rooms to decorate. Just last night we attended an annual event in Jennifer’s historic neighborhood. It is a candlelight tour of homes and we were not disappointed…gorgeous Victorian…
I am so excited to show y’all my Fall mantel. Fall has officially exploded in my house and I couldn’t be happier.

Sometimes I am struck with inspiration when I least expect it. Like this project today. I was in a dollar store and saw this tin bucket. I wasn’t even looking for one, but there it was sitting pretty and shiny on top of a shelf. The one dollar price tag is a sweet deal too….
Have you ever painted pumpkins? Yesterday I spent the day crafting Fall decor for my home. I had some dollar store plastic pumpkins leftover from THIS project last year. The pumpkins needed a more authentic look to banish the fake and shiny finish. Here’s how I created painted pumpkins and DIY stems. Do you see what…
Hey y’all – I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m excited to show you my chalk paint makeover for a pair of tables in my living room. But first, I hope you will allow me a moment to share something personal with you. I know that when you graciously come here to read the latest…
Hey y’all…I am so excited that Summer is here! While I must admit I really don’t care for the heat and humidity there is so much more that I do love about Summertime. Get togethers, cookouts, dinner parties, boating on the lake, swimming in the pool, impromptu porch parties and so much more. I’ve been…
Hey y’all…it feels so good to be here with you today! I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with our move. We closed on our home May 13th and moved here to the lake on May 14th. In these 25 days we have been out of town for prior commitments…
Hey y’all…I’m sure by now you know how much we love painted furniture. The power of paint is a beautiful thing…especially if you have a piece of furniture that is beat-up, tattered and torn.
